Back before they were churning out low-budget crap like The Flintstones, Hanna and Barbera were responsible for some gorgeous work. In particular, check out the high quality of the backgrounds, with beautifully carved wooden furniture and a vibrant palette. Appliances, walls and carpeting, ornaments and sundry items are all rendered with artistry rather than roughly sketched in as filler.

"Back before they were churning out low-budget crap like The Flintstones, Hanna and Barbera were responsible for some gorgeous work."

I would argue that even though the H&B stuff was lower budget, the first two seasons of the Flintstones were awesome. you can usually tell if an episode is from the first few seasons by the color of the interior of the Flintstone's house (blue instead of beige) and Barney's nose (pointy and long, not short and squat like Fred's nose). I still love some of the old H&B stuff like the Herculiods (a cool revamp of that would be something I would love to work on), Space Ghost and Johnny Quest. all of which sport beautiful character designs by the late, great Alex Toth. limited animation yes, but well designed.

I love this Buckethead video that used Hermanus Busch imagery done a few years ago:

and Jason Forrest's "War Photographer" video by Joel Thrussell:

anything by Jiri Barta is worth watching at least once:

I've only seen those terrible beige-interior Flintstones episodes, where usually the only background is an armchair roughly sketched in black and not coloured in. The Herculoids weren't bad, but IMO none of the later HB cartoons were a patch on their earlier Tom & Jerry work.]]>

Lets start with some pure childhood nostalgia that still manages to entertain my boring grown up self "Resan till Melonia" a version of The tempest by one of my all time favourite animators Per Åhlin.Resan till Melonia

This is a much later find Raoul Servais that often manages to make me think a bit after seeing on of his films.Operation X-70

And the last animator I would like to mention is Jurij Norstein he just makes stunning stuff.Hedgehog in the fog

This is an odd one because I'm not sure I really like the animation that much but somehow it compliments the story so perfectly so the hole becomes greater then its parts.The Man with the Beautiful Eyes

This film is so great because it manages to take something as dated as marionettes and manages to use them in a innovative way and tells a better story because of it.STRINGS

This is just a wonderfully crazy must see film.Mind Game]]>

I'd like to link a friend of mine who does traditional hand-drawn animation (although he colors them with computer); he has very distinctive style, and he's now working on more material. I've known him for ten years or thereabouts, and he's a big fan of comics; some characters featured in this clip are very reminescent of the Hulk. He recently graduated, and has been released into the wilds of the job market.

I personally find his animation style interesting: it is somewhere between anime and traditional animation, and he has a good eye for characters and backgrounds.]]>

The only thing I would dare to submit here I can't find. So maybe one of you have heard of it. I believe it was called "The Custodian" and I believe it came out some time in the mid ...
It's drawn very simply, basically black ink only. And is the narrative of the Custodian who is literally in custody over Earth and Humanity. He cleans up after people and feels a bit frustrated over the messes we make but has a grudging love for us. His narrative includes "The Kid" (Jesus) who listened too intently to his stories and ultimately decided to visit Earth and live among the people, which didn't go very well for him. Simple, sweet without being cloying, and haunting. And the damn thing is I have only seen it once, when it aired on PBS perhaps 15 years ago. Can't find it online anywhere.

I *hope* have the details right. Anyone?]]>

Tool - VicariousAll of Tool's videos have little bits of awesome in them, from the Quay influences to the collaborations with people like Chet Zar and Alex Grey. The stop motion vid for "Ænema" is actually my favorite Tool vid, but I thought this one was the most ambitious.

Flash/cel animation:

The Cat PianoThis went around for a while, and I came across it from Coilhouse. Amazing animation, and bonus points for Nick Cave narration. Watching it in HD is glorious.

Cel Animation:

No conversation is complete without Duck Amuck

I'd add some stop motion if it weren't for the fact that Harryhausen has already been covered, and the whole world knows about Selick's work on Nightmare Before Christmas and Coraline.

Man, what a great show to be a part of

I could have started that clip here:

Because I LOVE the standy Batmobile and the way it turns, the space around it - it's just perfectly done - but I thought I'd get to the guts of Batman breaking the 4th wall with the HAMMERS OF JUSTICE!!! Because it's :-) :-I :-D :-( ;_;

I was put off BTB&tB initially by the lack of Hamill, Conroy and, most of all, the preceding The Bat-man which I tried to love but couldn't (The Edge's theme music didn't help - you're in U2 and you can't play guitar properly- stay away from Batman!!!) so I just figured me and the WB lived in different worlds.

Then I saw this: [from about a half hour in]

and I was - " 'the fuck is up Aquaman? " - and I found out - and my God what a great, great show Brave and the Bold is!

Maybe too few people saw the show when it was originally airing because the world wasn't ready to process how brilliant and bold it is. I love this show now and I still can't believe what I'm seeing in a Batman cartoon.

Detective Chimp!!!

-- and this is one of the best Batman moments going; any series, any time:

Kudos! Kudos for working on such a brilliant piece of the Bat-world!

And now for something completely different. I've been seeing some pretty incredible Chinese animation recently, mostly from fine artist who use animation as their medium. This surreal pastel animation by Wang Haiyang is pretty much the only one I've been able to find online and is somewhat representative. Double Fikret is great too if you can track it down.

The craziest I've seen is a 15min woodblock animation (literally carved into the wood like linocut) by Sun Xun called "Some actions which have not been defined yet in the revolution". Just mind boggling if you ever get a chance to see it.

I promise next time I'll post more actual videos...]]>

Space?Dandy

Debuted this Saturday night, first in the US then a few hours later in Japan. Appearing in other parts of the world in the days to come. Anyone else watch it?

It's definitely a little cringy-ish if you ignore the clever writing, I was sold long ago on the fact that it's written by Dai Sato and directed by Shinichiro Watanabe. Watanabe, of course, directed Cowboy Bebop & Samurai Champloo. Sato wrote on Bebop, as well as Ghost in the Shell, Eureka 7 and Ergo Proxy. The studio is Bones, which just manages to make the most amazing looking ...everything - Eureka, Darker than Black, Wolf's Rain, Fullmetal Alchemist and on and on.

So either this is a monster home run or the biggest failure since Ghostbusters II.

Instead the stylization was the major character. Therefore, I really want to see where all this cleverness gets us. Something sharp and slick ("I know this because Tyler knows this") or something that goes splat and smells a little?

Shameless plugs for some incredibly talented people I know, but these are, in my opinion, outstanding examples of animation.

This music video for Elliot the Bull by Sam Lewis at Oh Yeah Wow is beautiful stop motion wood animation. I had the pleasure of watching this develop week by week over several months. It's simply stunning.

Felix Colgrave is another freakishly talented animator and if you haven't come across his stuff before, find and watch it all. This is his latest. I could watch it for hours.

Man Spaghetti is a little older, but it's a work of twisted genius.

I could go on, but I'll save some for another time.]]>

I do too, but I suppose I can't blame the Simpsons for being a sit-com and for not being Ren and Stimpy - and Ren and Stimpy jumped to mind because that couch gag felt like a moment of weirdness that we used to get 90's.

Maybe when (if) as the show starts to draw close to cancellation they'll have a "we don't give a fuck" year and just push madness! In the man time I suppose The Treehouse of Horror's, couch gags and the odd drug/food induced sequence are a fair compromise.]]>

Yeah, in Japan it's just Innocence and not supposed to be considered a sequel, but it does have the same characters in the same world so....

Anyway, does anyone know how I can watch it with the English language dub? I don't know what I'd give to get my hands on it, but I was even looking at an Italian import and considering something 80$ for the disk and a couple hundred for a compatible player. (If you don't know, Dreamworks for some reason got the distributing license in the US and opted to only sell it with English subtitles - no English track. However, an English dub *was* eventually recorded by the actors who would go on to play the same characters in the TV series (Stand Alone Complex). But that track only seems to be available in Europe. I think??)

This is super baffling and confounding. This movie is jaw-droppingly gorgeous and I personally adore extended tangents into philosophical observations. I can't begin to understand why I can't get it with the English track. I want to hear the actors work their magic, I want to get the philosophical jaunts in my brain as spoken instead of read...
